Activity 3: Lend Me Your Ears!
What is it
Aside from the given commonly used figures of speech, there are still
other figures of speech that we have to learn and be familiar with. One of these is
what we called irony.
Irony is a figure of speech and it is one of the most widely used literary
devices that specified feelings and heightened the details or idea. It is the use of
words to impart a meaning that is opposite of what is actually said.
For example, the teacher gets inside the classroom and she finds out
that the room was messy and she says “Thank you class, for making our room tidy,
now you can leave the room peacefully.” In this situation, the teacher was mad and
irritated of what had happened. But instead of directly expressing her anger, the
teacher used irony i.e. thanking the students for making the room untidy.
There are three kinds of irony that we are going to learn from this
module:
a. Verbal Irony
b. Situational Irony
c. Dramatic Irony.
Verbal Irony
-It is the use of words to give a meaning that is opposite from what the
speaker says. What the person says is different to what she/he meant. The speaker
acts differently to what he/she says.
Examples:
1. After looking at his child’s failing grades, the father says, “You will surely receive
an award on recognition day.”
2. Almar tastes his mother’s delicious fruit shake and exclaims, “I shall never taste
this shake ever again.”
Situational Irony
-Situational Irony is when the things you have expected and considered to
happen doesn’t come about. Instead, the exact opposite happens. It could have
serious or funny results. This type of irony is used to add more meaning to a
situation making it more interesting and thought-provoking.
Examples:
1. Mr. Lopez, the nutritionist, was diagnosed as diabetic.
2. Our neighbour, the well-known carpenter in town, cannot fix his house’s broken
ceiling.
Dramatic Irony
- It happens when the audience knows the information while the characters
do not know. It is just like watching a movie where the audience knows what’s in
there but the character in the movie doesn’t know. This is the type of irony that
makes us yell because we know that the character is working under false beliefs.
This can lead to humorous or distressful situations.
Examples:
1. The boy in a horror film hides in a closet where the ghost just went (the
audience knows the ghost is there, but the boy does not.)
2. In a love story movie, the audience knew that the leading man was only asleep-
not dead- but the leading lady thought he is dead, so she killed herself.

Activity 4: What’s In Me!
Directions: Read the following examples of irony. Identify which of the three types
of irony are being used and then explain your answer.
1. A crabby old lady ordered a sumptuous coffee at the coffee shop. The waiter
tried to provide her with excellent service, but every time he brought her a coffee,
she complained. First she thought that the coffee was too cold when it was hot.
Then she said that the coffee was tasteless, when it was delicious and scrumptious.
Then she complained that one of his black hairs was in her cup, but the hair was
actually blonde like her own. He remained patient and continued to try to help her
until the end of the snacks, when she left him a quarter for a tip. The waiter replied
on her way out, “Thank you for the generous tip, Madam.”

2. Ponciana has always liked Crisanta to be her best friend, but Crisanta has always
thought Pociana was ambitious and insincere. One day, Crisanta comes home to
find an electric bill on her door. Apparently, her roommate had been spending the
money allotted for electricity that Crisanta was giving her on other things. Crisanta
only has 24 hours to pay the bill or else her meter will be cut, and Crisanta needs
so much the electricity because it is her source of income. But Ponciana has
money. So Crisanta calls up Ponciana and asks her how she’s doing. She tells her
that she’s always thought she was kind, and that they should have a bonding
sometime. Ponciana thinks that Crisanta has finally come around is beginning to like
her as her best friend. She also thinks that she is sincere because Crisanta started to call her.

3. Amanda is one of the world’s top bakers. She is best known for her signature
bread, Beefy Cheesedesal. This masterpiece contains over a pound of delicious
highland cornbeef. Another of Amanda’s more celebrated bread is the Cheesy
Bacon Ensaymada. This bread features special cheese stuffed ham and bacon links
presented in a basket made of braided hotdogs. While carnivores around the world
roar for Amanda’s creations, it is unlikely that Amanda will dine with them. As a
long time vegan, Amanda would never dream of devouring one of her own created
breads.

4. Ezekiela was washing up the dishes at the cafeteria when she heard the news
that their favourite actress will do the concert in their gym. She knew right away
that she would be taking her younger sister. They loved their idol and Ezekiela was
looking forward to seeing the smiles on her sister’s face. The concert was going to
cost her though, and washing up the dishes didn’t pay a whole lot. Yet she saved
until he had the 120 pesos to get the tickets. When she saw her younger sister’s
face, the price seemed like a bargain. Soon they walked into that big gymnasium.
This was the first time that Ezekiela realized that she and her younger sister would
be hungry. As they sat in their seats, the food vendor walked by selling foods.
Desperately hungry, Ezekiela asked how much a hamburger would cost. The food
vendor said, “Twenty five pesos each.” Ezekiela replied, “Oh, that’s it? Just twenty
five pesos? What a great deal for one piece of hamburger.” The food vendor
walked away.

5. Mr. Octavio is the well-known money lender in the city. Before anyone can start
their business, they lend money to Mr. Octavio. He makes sure that all who lend
money to him have signed the papers and fill up the forms correctly and eligibly.
He makes sure that the debtors have paid the monthly interest so with the
principal money they lend. He ensures that every debtor have paid the exact
amount. One day, Mr. Octavio was being summoned. He was charge of not paying
his monthly amortization to the bank. He lends money to the bank and uses it as
his “puhunan” but he was not able to pay it in the bank.
